Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Outside of the Nazi hierarchy, Odilo Globocnik is almost certainly
the most culpable in the planned and almost successfully executed
attempt to annihilate all the Jews of Europe. In producing this
book, the author was soon to discover several interesting facets to
the history of this unsavory character. Not only did he play a
leading role in the process of murdering the Jews, he was also the
arch highwayman in the plunder of their possessions. Additionally,
he was responsible for the compulsory uprooting of thousands of
Polish non-Jewish citizens, the destruction of their communities,
and the trafficking of enforced slave laborers. Often justifiably
vilified for his crooked dealings as Gauleiter of Vienna, his
function as asset stripper of the Polish Jews is overshadowed by
his unquestionable major role in their physical destruction. The
ultimate crime of mass murder far outweighs the less significant,
but nevertheless considerable, offenses of robbery and human
trafficking, for obvious reasons. Odilo Globocnik was guilty of
them all.
In the turbulent times of the post-World War One era, new political
parties emerged frequently in Germany, many with opposing extremist
policies. The Communist movement grew out of the Socialist working
classes using the Russian Bolshevik Party as a template. In direct
opposition, the new National Socialist German Workers Party under
the leadership of Adolf Hitler, occupied the extreme right-wing
position. Head on conflict was inevitable and both parties
organised violent demonstrations against the other. Hitler
recognised that he was physically vulnerable and ordered the
formation of his own protection squad, made up of loyal men who
would not shirk from a fight. From the rudimentary ranks of
Hitler's select few grew the infant SS, a modern praetorian guard,
which developed over the years into a massive and efficient
military style force with tentacles spreading into all elements of
everyday life in Nazi Germany. To administer this organisation,
Hitler appointed leaders upon whom he could rely. Many names remain
obscure, but this book highlights who they all were and how they
appeared.
Volume 3, officers with surnames R to W. In the turbulent times of

"I was following orders." The answer most commonly quoted by SS men
accused of atrocious crimes after Germany had surrendered in 1945.
But who gave those orders? Who was the mastermind behind the
sophisticated machinery which allowed men from normal family
backgrounds to kill on such a scale? The right man at the right
time, fate steered Heinrich Himmler to take control of an
organisation destined to carry out Hitler's racial policies. This
study not only sets out in detail how Heinrich Himmler's daily
routine allowed him to implement Nazi strategy, but it also
provides illustrations of the man behind much of it, both at work
and at home. Of all the personalities of history demonized by
post-war writers, Heinrich Himmler ranks among the most reviled.
His legacy is one of hatred, violence and cold blooded murder on a
vast scale. A Jekyll and Hyde character, variously described by his
generation and those who followed as charming, loyal, polite, a
pedant, an eccentric, an organizational genius, a fool, a desk
killer and a loving father.The camera allows us into his world,
albeit temporarily, and we can equate his busy, but mostly mundane
schedule with contemporary images frozen in time. What makes this
book unique is the astonishing amount of photographic material,
following Himmler on his day to day routine. It is a must read for
anyone interested in the enigmatic man and the operations of the
Third Reich.
Die Instrumentierung von Kernreaktoren hat die Aufgabe, bleibende
Unterlagen von den veranderlichen Grossen der Anlage zu schaffen.
Daneben soll sie unmittelbare Informationen fur den sicheren und
wirtschaftlichen Betrieb des Reaktors, von Hand oder automatisch,
liefern. Zur automatischen Regelung gehort auch das selbsttatige Ab
schalten des Reaktors, sobald ernsthafte Storungen auftreten. Um
diesen Forderungen gerecht zu werden, muss man ein Mess-und uber
wachungsprogramm fur folgende Betriebsgrossen vorsehen:
Reaktorleistung durch Messfuhler ausserhalb des Reaktorkerns,
Neutronenfluss innerhalb des Reaktorkerns, Temperatur von
Brennstoff und Moderator, Durchfluss, Temperatur, Druck und
Aktivitat des Kuhlmittels, Dichtheit der Brennelemente, Dichtheit
der Warmetauscher zwischen Kuhl-und Dampfkreislauf, Verschiedenes,
z.B. Temperatur des Druckgefasses, der Abschir mung. In
Leistungsreaktoren kommen noch konventionelle Kessel- und Tur
binenmessungen dazu. Fur bestimmte uberwachungsaufgaben werden
industrielle Fernsehanlagen eingesetzt. Mit Ausnahme einfachster
Versuchsanlagen werden die Anzeige- und Schreibgerate fur die
genannten Betriebsgrossen eines Reaktors in der Schaltwarte
zusammengezogen. Die zentralisierte Betriebsuberwachung ist ein
Kennzeichen aller Kernkraftwerke, sie wird erforderlich durch die
grosse Anzahl von Messgeraten und die Kompliziertheit von In
strumentierung und Steuerung. Manchmal ist es jedoch
unwirtschaftlich und uberflussig, alle Informationen in die
Schaltwarte zu geben. Dann werden einige Gerate in lokalen
Leitstanden untergebracht. Zum Beispiel werden im Kernkraftwerk
Berkeley Umwalzgeblase und Warmetauscher von Leitstanden in der
Nahe der Umwalzgeblase geregelt; nur die wichtigeren
Betriebsgrossen werden in die zentrale Schaltwarte weiter gegeben.
Es gibt auch eine moderne Entwicklungsrichtung auf vollig
zentralisierte uberwachung aller wichtigen Betriebsgrossen von Kern
kraftwerken."

Most revision guides provide either content with a few questions,
or just practice questions, but this guide presents a good balance
of both. The author is highly experienced in preparing students for
examinations from all the exam groups, and has trialled the scripts
thoroughly. This book is written in plain English to help the
student understand and revise. For each of 16 topics there are
three pages of key content points followed by plenty of questions
to test yourself and to make you aware of any areas needing further
study. General guidance on the speci¬cations, revision, and how to
approach the exam are provided at the start of the book, and full
answers at the end. This book is fully revised for A2 OCR
chemistry. As requested by readers this version has more space than
earlier versions.
